Wow, that sure shook up the Yankees front office.
Brian Cashman actually dropped an "f" bomb on a Arod.
Later they apparently patched up their differences with VP Randy Levine during a conference call, sure they did. And Pee Wee Herman is a youth counselor. Not lost in this story du jour is the $ 28 million the yanks could pocket if Arod does not play for them this year, from insurance guarantees.
It's all about the dineros right now for New York. If they can slow down this ascension to the major league club, or have him trip over a garden hose, well geez, $ 28 million is not pocket change, now is it.
His highness, Lord High and Mighty-ness.
This is an easy one, they don't want him, but need to convince the paying public they want to win, I said it was easy, didn't I ? Well that may be a stretch. Yanks are floundering, and could be headed for the dreaded second division finish.
Jeter still making his come back attempt. He's run the bases with his new walker, the Clipper 3000, while 1st baseman Texieria has to undergo season ending surgery. And where the hell is Curtis Granderson, and The Youk. Then there is Mike Pineda and the soon to be ending career of Mariano Rivera, a first ballot HOF lock.
Ladies and Gentleman, it has finally happened, the New York Yankees, of Ruth and Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio and Costanza have finally grown old.
I knew it was going to happen, they had not secured an "A" level free agent in the past 2 off seasons. No Albert, no Hamilton, no Cliff Lee, no Zach Grienke. And the reduction of payroll to avoid huge luxury tax implications has spoken loudly.
Arod is just the latest in an effort by the Pinstripers to reduce the damage. Get something out of this.
Last one out, dump the leftover caviar and cover the torches, these boys will not Survive the summer.
